ICYMI: Cypress Coast Brewing looking to open on Government Street

If approved by the Planning Commission next month, Baton Rouge will get its third brewery next year.

The owners of Hammond-based Cypress Coast Brewing Co. are looking to open their first location for the brewery and taproom in a strip center on the corner of Government Street and Cloud Drive across from Fleur de Lis Pizza.

Caleb Schlamp and his wife, Brittany, operate the brewery along with Justin and Rachel Meyers.

Baton Rouge’s larger population as well as the growing popularity—and redevelopment—along Mid City’s Government Street prompted the move, says Schlamp.

“We figure Government Street is one of the best spots to be in Baton Rouge. We think there’s a lot of opportunities for this type of business in the city,” he says. “There’s only two in Baton Rouge right now, and we think there’s room for a lot more.”

If approved, they would begin plans to renovate the roughly 2,500-square-foot space, for which they’ve already signed a lease. Schlamp says they’re aiming for an August 2019 opening date.
